The dvdrip ebuild will error if transcode is compiled with extrafilters. This was due to a bug in transcode back in 2005: http://www.exit1.org/archive/dvdrip-users/2005-11/msg00003.html This bug has been fixed upstream as of 1.0.3. I'm not finding official information on it but it's listed on the wiki for 1.0.3: http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Bug_Showcase Also, I have transcode 1.0.3 installed (it's the latest stable version in amd64) and dvdrip did not hang after I took out the transcode extrafilters restriction. This issue will probably resolve itself *eventually* anyway as I noticed the latest (but masked) version of transcode no longer has the extrafilters keyword. Either way this ebuild should probably be updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
need to drop older transcode versions first
Fixed in 0.98.8-r2
